Headword:
*me/nexmos
Adler number: mu,609
Translated headword: Menechmos, Menekhmos, Menechmus
Vetting Status: high
Translation: A proper name.
Greek Original:*me/nexmos: o)/noma ku/rion.
Note:
Otherwise unattested in this precise form, though it easily becomes the more promising-looking
Manaichmos/Menaichmos. As such, Bernhardy may have been right to equate the present individual with
mu 140; but see also
mu 141. (The Athenian litigant whose opponent(s) hired
Lycurgus and
Dinarchus -- see under
lambda 825, etc. -- was more probably called Menesaichmos.)
